Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

工整干爽的皮克斯电影，剧情完整且制作上乘，特效华丽且动作漂亮。
看完之后，我都不知道巴斯叫啥，只记得胡迪。
在动画电影里加LGBT元素？？？迪士尼想啥呢？？？
不敢相信这是皮克斯作品，迪士尼哥霍霍老IP续作真的有一手，星战已死，漫威已死，皮克斯已死。还有黑白人种一比一加女同真的无比政治正确，现在不加这些就不会拍电影了是不是。
Darby能开发出这种机器人怎么没研究出来晶体构成的formula？
本来想给1星，但是冲他们敢在动画片里搞同性之吻，敬他们是条汉子，加1星。
皮克斯什么时候也开始用让角色犯傻逼的方式来推动剧情了啊。。。本来也就是个普通的三段式结构，就算设计不出来出彩的剧本也不要这样摆烂吧.。。。
3.9 皮克斯完成“蜕变了”，这是十足的迪士尼
我看过的第1425部电影，《光年正传》我给7.3分。
喵喵喵喵，四分。这片主要还是讲的如何正确认识自身的错误。很有教育意义的片子，很适合某些对错误很敏感的地区人员观看。
感觉不像是小男孩看了会很喜欢到买周边玩具的电影。反派BOSS的设定也被魔改了。本来我是你爸爸多萌的梗啊非要改成平行世界的巴斯光年自己。
剧情推进得如此直白，缺乏想象力和深度，普通到不像皮克斯的作品，不明白为啥要给这部电影开绿灯，尤其是系列前作的精神仍存(玩具4都有点狗尾嫌疑），破坏了一些东西，又没有建立什么东西，像是一场硬上的戏，玩具粉看完除了惋惜就无话可说了。延伸到电影外，因同性情节就被声势浩大地抵制，根本没必要，“电影没那么可怕”，这句话放在世界上哪个国度都适用。
真的好爱玩具总动员，巴斯光年是其中最爱，但是真的很无感甚至略反感这部单人传的故事内容精神内核人物塑造，这不是我想象中的巴斯光年。猫猫队立大功，算是全片唯一能看的。另外好喜欢中老年巴斯，毕竟外形和我一个可爱的老师相似程度99%
呃。。。。。。所以高加索男人的终极敌人是，老年的自己？
有点牵强，老年巴斯怎么拿到那么强的科技飞船
三观不正，我毫无保留地认同于老巴斯的观念，人类不能固步自封守着一亩三分地，这不是坐吃山空吗？我们可以核算成本，但是不能只认政治正确，不顾伟大的愿景。前半段的星际飞行非常有六十年代美国科幻的感觉，殖民殖民！星辰大海！
出场时画质可以，后面就平庸了，剧情老套不够爽 不符合90年代时对巴斯光年的印象
超越预期, Pixar的回暖之作. 怪不得95年的安迪最爱的电影会是这部.
这不是一部多优秀的动画片，笑料、剧情、特效都很一般。但是情怀这个东西，你懂得………
如果我能回到过去，我才不会管新时间线上被抹杀的是谁
